The couple, who recently caught attention when Waterhouse was seen wearing a diamond ring on her finger, are getting married.
“They are engaged. They both want to be married. It’s important for them,” the source says.
In November, the couple shared that they are going to have their first baby together. The insider tells that the Batman star “can’t wait to be a dad.”
“He’s so ready,” says the source. “His relationship with Suki is incredible. He feels very lucky.” Meanwhile, the Daisy Jones & the Six star has the “special glow” and “seems very happy,” says the source.
Earlier this week, people started thinking they were engaged after Waterhouse was seen wearing a ring on her left hand while they were walking around London. TMZ published photos of them.
The couple’s engagement comes after Waterhouse announced they are expecting a baby while performing at last month’s Corona Capital Festival in Mexico.
In a fan-captured video posted on X (formerly Twitter), she talked about her sparkly outfit, telling the audience, “I’m extra sparkly today because I thought it might distract you from something else that’s going on.”
She then opened her coat to reveal a baby bump, and the crowd cheered. “I’m not sure if it’s working,” she joked.
A week later, a source told she and Pattinson are “thrilled” about having their first child on the way. “A baby coming is an absolute joy for them,” the source said of the couple. “They are thrilled beyond words.”
Another source added, “They are ready for a child, and looking forward to becoming parents. Even though they are both professionals who work a great deal, this is something they want. They know their lives will change, and they are excited.”
Pattinson, 37, first met Waterhouse, 31, in July 2018, when they were seen showing affection in London. Four years later, the couple made their first public appearance, attending the Dior Men Fall 2023 show in Giza, Egypt, in early December 2022.
Throughout their relationship, they have been relatively private since they started dating. When asked about his relationship in 2019, Pattinson said, “If you let people in, it devalues what love is.”
“If a stranger on the street asked you about your relationship, you’d think it extremely rude. If you put up a wall, it ends better,” the actor added.
Pattinson previously said that seeing Waterhouse’s reaction to The Batman “kind of changed the entire thing” for him as he appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live!.
The upcoming marriage will be the first for both Waterhouse and Pattinson, who was previously in a relationship with Twilight costar Kristen Stewart and was engaged to FKA Twigs after dating for more than two years.
Waterhouse dated Bradley Cooper for two years until their breakup in the spring of 2015 and, shortly after, dated Diego Luna until 2017.
